Summers in Iowa City are generally better than summers in Kansas City. However, in one respect they're way worse, and that is THE MOTHERFUCKING GNATS.
I don't remember them being this bad either of the two previous summers, but I've spent the past week swatting and slapping at myself like a meth addict on a housecleaning bender every time I go outside, and it's driving me FUCKING INSANE. I think it's because we got a lot of rain this spring, which meant lots of stagnant water and a really humid environment once it did get hot.
Still, it had better stop now, I DISAPPROVE OF THESE SHENANIGANS, DO YOU HEAR ME GNATS
